Great book. The essentials are all spelled out. Easy to read and identify for both Parents, as well as a great read for discussion to lead to family unity. Recommend it to families, or professionals who engage with families.
The best book I've ever read

This book clarified what needs to be done to develop children of character and love. It also helped me learn how to make better choices when trying to decide the "right course of action" when dealing with kids and my life.
A Valuable Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book really is a wealth of information, especially for a handbook. However, at times I felt the language was a little too academic and the chapters were so full of info that they took forever to get through. My husband and I read it together, and it was pretty exhausting. Also, the discussion questions at the end were okay, but some were a little forced and repetitive. But, if you can get over those few things, this book really does have some great suggestions and tips on Christian parenting(if you can remember them all!).
